Dana Whitfield

Dana runs the numbers side of GLP-1 Grade: the protein-per-dollar tables, the grams-per-serving reads, and the third-party-testing checks behind every recommendation. The method is deliberately boring — pull the product’s published nutrition panel and current price, compute grams of protein per serving, dollars per serving, and dollars per 20 grams of protein, then check whether the brand actually publishes a third-party certificate (Informed Sport, NSF Certified for Sport) rather than taking “lab tested” on faith.

The house stance is that a product earns a recommendation with a legible label and a real certificate, not a hero image. Front-of-package math is marketing; the panel is evidence, and where they disagree the review quotes both. Price gets the same treatment: dollars per 20 grams of protein, computed the same way for every product, so a tub of powder and a box of bars can be compared without the packaging doing the math for you.

Dana claims no dietitian, medical, or nutrition-science credential — none is claimed because none is held. The authority here is method: published labels read closely, numbers recomputed independently, and prices verified against the brand’s own live listing at write time. Unknown stays unknown; this desk does not guess. And the standing line sits over all of it — we review products, never medications, and nothing here is medical advice; targets belong in a conversation with your clinician.
